You push off from the quay and the water answers with a soft slap against the hull; windmills rotate like slow wooden metronomes under a high northern sky. The tour folds Dutch engineering and everyday life together—pedaling along low dikes, slipping onto a waterbus, and stepping into an 18th‑century working windmill whose gears still creak with purpose.
